Oscar-award winning screenwriter Paul Haggis and his wife, actress Deborah Rennard, have sold their home in Santa Monica for its asking price of $5.25 million.

The East Coast-inspired traditional house sits on nearly a third of an acre of grounds with mature trees, lawn and formal gardens. The home features skylights, French doors that open to terraces and an outdoor kitchen, two fireplaces, five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and 5,690 square feet of living space.

Haggis, 59, has written for numerous television shows and created "Walker, Texas Ranger" (1993-2001) and "Due South" (1994-99). The writer/producer/director won two Academy Awards for his work on "Crash" (2004). He is directing the upcoming film "Third Person," for which he wrote the screenplay.
